### 19.11 Setting up CSH for OmniHelp

To provide entry points for CSH (context-sensitive help) calls from an application to an OmniHelp system, you can embed symbolic IDs as TopicAlias PI markers in your DITA files, and list alias prefixes in the configuration file. OmniHelp does not use numeric values for CSH, so you do not need a map file. Actually opening an OmniHelp topic file from an application might require a redirect page or a visit to the Windows Registry.
